Subject: Your MD gubernatorial candidacy; your visit to Eagles Mere PA; and reducing gun violence in Maryland
Dear Mr. Moore,
I became aware of your candidacy for governor of the State of Maryland during your recent visit to Eagles Mere PA.
I live in Alabama and am purveying to my Alabama lawmakers, mayors, police departments, sheriff's departments and others that gun violence could be significantly reduced if only open carry of guns outside the home for self-defense is allowed, and concealed carry of guns outside the home is prohibited. See https://al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com/2022/07/to-my-elected-officials-only-open-carry.html and https://al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com/2022/06/dealing-with-scotus-gun-regulation.html.
I hope your campaign will consider this idea as part of your Public Safety and Criminal Justice platform you set out at https://wesmoore.com/issues/publicsafety/.
Thank you very much.

Subject: Indianapolis shooting of Dutch soldiers -reducing gun violence by allowing only open carry of guns outside home
Dear Mr. Brantley and Mr. Burtner,
I live in Alabama.
In Alabama I am purveying that I believe the individual right to carry a handgun for self-defense outside the home can be fully accommodated, and at the same time gun violence will be greatly reduced if the only permitted carry of guns outside the home is open carry, and concealed carry of guns outside the home is prohibited.
I am trying to obtain a discussion of this with Alabama lawmakers, mayors, police departments, public health authorities, and business chambers of commerce.
For more information about this, see https://al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com/2022/07/to-my-elected-officials-only-open-carry.html.
Yesterday's early morning shooting in Indianapolis’ entertainment district is another data point that should keep stimulated the interest of the Indiana business community in reducing gun violence.
I hope you will consider whether gun violence will be reduced in Indiana by allowing only open carry of guns outside the home, and, if you conclude it will, to present your belief to the Indiana legislature and to Indiana city councils and county commissions.
Thank you.

Subject: Phoenix business & Phoenix gun violence - allowing only open carry of guns outside home for self-defense
Dear Mr. Sanders, Mr. Huckins, and Ms. Springman:
I live in Alabama.
In Alabama I am purveying that I believe the individual right to carry a handgun for self-defense outside the home can be fully accommodated, and at the same time gun violence will be greatly reduced if the only permitted carry of guns outside the home is open carry for self-defense, and concealed carry of guns outside the home is prohibited.
For more information about this, see https://al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com/2022/07/to-my-elected-officials-only-open-carry.html.
Monday's gun violence in Phoenix ("A gunman clad in tactical gear and armed with a semi-automatic rifle killed 2 and injured 5 others in Phoenix shooting, police say") is another data point that should keep stimulated the interest of the Phoenix business community in reducing gun violence.
Making Americans safer from gun violence may be harder now than ever before.
Consider what has happened with The Concealed Carry Improvement Act that New York State passed during a special session a week after the U.S. Supreme Court decision in the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association case. That new law took effect yesterday, and immediately it became clear the law will be strenuously challenged in the courts, with an unknown outcome at this time. See New gun law continues on despite judge calling it 'unconstitutional'.
I don't know what other laws will be enacted in Arizona or other states in reaction to the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association case or what the legal prospects of those laws will be.
It seems to me that the touchstone for the business community in Phoenix and throughout the United States should be in the vein of:
"Americans have a right to have guns for self-defense. At the same time, there is a role for governments to protect Americans from gun violence. There are ways the governments can do that without violating Second Amendment rights of citizens to have guns for self-defense. Our Phoenix chamber of commerce will engage with Arizona lawmakers, the Phoenix city council, and Arizona law enforcement about this." 
I hope you will consider whether gun violence will be reduced in Arizona by allowing only open carry of guns outside the home for self-defense, and, if you conclude it will, to present your belief to the Arizona legislature and to the Phoenix city council.
Thank you.

Subject: Re 2nd Amendment in support of email to Dean Colleen Barry, Cornell Brooks School of Public Policy
Dear Professors Dorf, Johnson, Rana, Richardson, Stiglitz, and Tebbe:
I sent the below email to Dr. Barry because of her position as Board Director of Sandy Hook Promise. Also, Dr. Barry at one time led the bi-annual Johns Hopkins National Gun Policy Tracking Survey.
My email to Dr. Barry solicits what she thinks about whether gun violence would be greatly reduced if the only permitted carry of guns outside the home is open carry for self-defense, and concealed carry of guns outside the home is prohibited.
I think a law that allows only open carry of guns outside the home for self-defense and prohibits concealed carry of guns outside can pass muster under the Second Amendment.
I don't know whether Dr. Barry would be interested in what Cornell constitutional law professors think on the question, but this email invites same.
More interesting to me is whether only the states could enact laws that allow only open carry of guns outside the home for self-defense and prohibit concealed carry of guns outside the home, or whether there is a way a Congressional enactment could accomplish that result.
Thank you very much for your indulgence with this email.
